"The Tower of Oblivion" by Oliver Onions is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Derwent Rose, a writer experiencing a profound and unsettling change in his life as he begins to age backward, a phenomenon he desperately tries to understand and navigate. The narrative explores themes of identity, perception, and the impact of personal history on the present. The opening of the book introduces the protagonist, Derwent Rose, and his friend George Coverham, who witness a shift in Rose's demeanor during an afternoon at the Lyonnesse Club. Rose, initially described as youthful and handsome, reveals a growing anxiety about his appearance and life decisions, particularly in relation to fellow author Daphne Bassett. As George tries to engage him in conversation, it becomes clear that Rose is grappling with deeper issues that affect both his mental state and his artistic identity. Their interaction foreshadows the difficulties Rose will face as he embarks on a mysterious journey of rejuvenation and self-discovery, prompting questions about the nature of time and personal evolution.
